Minneapolis Mid-C Time Capsule Home

Family life in a "time capsule" - from dwelling to belongings, this family resides in their own recreation of the fifties. They found their 1957 home two years ago, and according to Matthew, "What sold me was I looked through the windows and saw blond brick on the fireplace and an original NuTone clock doorbell."

According to the Star Tribune article, Matthew has been collecting midcentury modern for seven years and his passion for the era has furnished the home and has also helped turn a profit. He relays a story in which he recognized a Gino Sarfatti lamp in a consignment shop, purchased it for $99, and sold it on ebay for $4500. Lesson - it pays off (in more ways than one) to go with what you know and love for your home decor.
